Psalm 144 (WEBP)

[1] Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, who trains my hands to war, and my fingers to battle—
[2] my loving kindness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me.
[3] Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?
[4] Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.
[5] Part your heavens, Yahweh, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
[6] Throw out lightning, and scatter them. Send out your arrows, and rout them.
[7] Stretch out your hand from above, rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners,
[8] whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
[9] I will sing a new song to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.
[10] You are he who gives salvation to kings, who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.
[11] Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
[12] Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants, our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.
[13] Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision. Our sheep produce thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
[14] Our oxen will pull heavy loads. There is no breaking in, and no going away, and no outcry in our streets.
[15] Happy are the people who are in such a situation. Happy are the people whose God is Yahweh.

[1] [143:1] τω δαυιδ προς τον γολιαδ ευλογητος κυριος ο θεος μου ο διδασκων τας χειρας μου εις παραταξιν τους δακτυλους μου εις πολεμον
[2] [143:2] ελεος μου και καταφυγη μου αντιλημπτωρ μου και ρυστης μου υπερασπιστης μου και επ αυτω ηλπισα ο υποτασσων τον λαον μου υπ εμε
[3] [143:3] κυριε τι εστιν ανθρωπος οτι εγνωσθης αυτω η υιος ανθρωπου οτι λογιζη αυτον
[4] [143:4] ανθρωπος ματαιοτητι ωμοιωθη αι ημεραι αυτου ωσει σκια παραγουσιν
[5] [143:5] κυριε κλινον ουρανους σου και καταβηθι αψαι των ορεων και καπνισθησονται
[6] [143:6] αστραψον αστραπην και σκορπιεις αυτους εξαποστειλον τα βελη σου και συνταραξεις αυτους
[7] [143:7] εξαποστειλον την χειρα σου εξ υψους εξελου με και ρυσαι με εξ υδατων πολλων εκ χειρος υιων αλλοτριων
[8] [143:8] ων το στομα ελαλησεν ματαιοτητα και η δεξια αυτων δεξια αδικιας
[9] [143:9] ο θεος ωδην καινην ασομαι σοι εν ψαλτηριω δεκαχορδω ψαλω σοι
[10] [143:10] τω διδοντι την σωτηριαν τοις βασιλευσιν τω λυτρουμενω δαυιδ τον δουλον αυτου εκ ρομφαιας πονηρας
[11] [143:11] ρυσαι με και εξελου με εκ χειρος υιων αλλοτριων ων το στομα ελαλησεν ματαιοτητα και η δεξια αυτων δεξια αδικιας
[12] [143:12] ων οι υιοι ως νεοφυτα ηδρυμμενα εν τη νεοτητι αυτων αι θυγατερες αυτων κεκαλλωπισμεναι περικεκοσμημεναι ως ομοιωμα ναου
[13] [143:13] τα ταμιεια αυτων πληρη εξερευγομενα εκ τουτου εις τουτο τα προβατα αυτων πολυτοκα πληθυνοντα εν ταις εξοδοις αυτων
